I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Just like we containerized webapps, we'll have to containerize AI agents... but how? What first principles led to containers in the first place, and how do they transpose to LLMs?
This was my first talk at an AI meetup, but I doubt it will be the last!

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Last night, I wrote about @vmware.bsky.social Cloud Foundry, and #kubernetes companies / projects that shaped my career and the enterprise software landscape.

Is there a reason the 1Password Firefox extension is so much worse than Chrome's? Seems to ask for my password every single time, and doesn't integrate with Windows Hello (fingerprint/face unlock).
